The Secret Journal

God Stones, Book 1

by Otto Schafer

Narrated by: A.J. Carter

A Mysterious World of Magic and Danger!

This is an intriguing story of two different groups of people looking for treasures. What they do not realize is that the treasures they are seeking to discover will have an apocalyptic effect on the world. The father, daughter, and brother in Nova Scotia must travel to Petersburg, Illinois to join forces with the second group – lead by a young man the daughter has only met in a vision! Together they must come together with an Ancient to help recover the God Stones and stop the destruction!

Otto Schafer, the author, has done a magnificent job of weaving together a story with historical people (The Templar Knights, Abraham Lincoln, Pharoh’s, and more) and fictional characters (aliens, trolls, fairies, etc.) with creativity and mystery. The Secret Journal is an action-packed story that will keep the listener guessing because Schafer throws in a couple of plot twists that you will NOT expect!

Each character is fully developed, and the storyline flows smoothly. The dialog is genuine and moves the story at a solid pace. Schafer also emphasizes the value and need for family and friends – alone no one could take this responsibility on and survive.

The narrator, A.J. Carter, gives a well-grounded performance with confidence and an authoritative voice. He speaks clearly and provides a different voice for each character. His performance allows the listener to keep the characters straight. This was my first time hearing a performance by A.J. Carter and I enjoyed it.

I look forward to the continuation of this series, it is one that has everything – mystery, suspense, magic, a touch of romance, and intrigue!

I enjoyed this story immensely and look forward to hearing the next in the series.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook. It was clear and crisp.
